Why do you feel Abby2 is the hardest match up? How does it compare to Fyanna? I mean from my understanding, you can just out threat and force fyanna out of scenario. She has to feat defensively which is not good. Abby2 gets to alpha and take out a ton of things. I think the child still has to play into Abby and you need to force the abby2 player into a bad assaination, which if they don't take, puts you up on scenario, and if they do take you can retaliate after assuming odds are in your favor. MessofMinions has it basically right. Fyanna 2 has (outside of Gallows) a static threat range on her heavies of 11 inches on the Neraphs (13 if Slipstream) and 12 on the Angelius (14 if Slipstream). She can only buff 1-2 models' damage every turn, and she also cannot give her army +2 MAT. With many of the Menagerie lists, you outthreat her list, which is bad for her since she has to feat defensively, and even if she runs at you, the Heretic auto hits, the Child is MAT 8, and Glimmer Imps nearly negate her feat. Abby, on the other hand, outthreats you at every point, is super accurate, hits very hard, and can kill things herself.

Nice reports! You are collecting mercs now too? I need your funds I still haven't finished collecting protectorate and circle haha I Think Ret is one of those factions that would stomp all over the meta if 1:more people played them and 2:Cryx wasn't such an abomination to the game state right now. haha

It's not so much funds as it is trades. I do a lot of "I'll paint this for you in exchange for those models", and in this particular instance I had a friend getting out of mercs that wanted the retail price of the Galleon and a little more for all of it.
Ret is terrifying yes, they've got so many good tools. I agree with you, when more people start playing them, we'll have to think about them very hard.

I've been thinking about Eilish for few days now (or rather, how can I convert him), and the article had good points. But Dreamer does have upkeep removal in the large phantasm, even if it is horribly unwieldy to use.
